Weight Loss Medication Source: Why Trusted Providers Matter

Looking to get a semaglutide or tirzepatide prescription online in the EU? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who review your case individually. Yes, you can get weight loss medication through a licensed EU doctor online – without the clinic visit. Our €25 online consultation fee is refunded if treatment isn't appropriate. If approved, you receive a valid REMPE electronic prescription in under 24 hours, accepted at any pharmacy across the EU.

How it works — get your weight loss medication prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your €25 fee is refunded automatically — no risk, you pay nothing.
  3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess your eligibility for weight loss medication. Generally, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. They will review your full medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions or medications to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you. Contraindications are also carefully considered, so it's vital to provide accurate and complete information in your medical questionnaire.

What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Weight loss medications like semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying, leading to reduced calorie intake. This isn't a magic pill; these medications are most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. You can expect gradual, sustained weight loss over several months, not overnight results. The goal is to support you in achieving and maintaining a healthier weight long-term.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when first starting or increasing the dose. These often improve over time. Your doctor will discuss all potential side effects and what to do if they occur. It's crucial to seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms. The doctor will guide you on when to adjust your dose or discontinue the medication if necessary.
